Fixed attenuator A device used to reduce power levels of a signal by a fixed amount with little or no reflections. The output signal is attenuated relative to the input signal while the input and output impedance is maintained close to 50Ω (or 75Ω) over the specified...

Q. Many of MCL’s fixed attenuators are specified up to 1500 MHz. How will they perform at higher frequencies? A. With the exception of the 75Ω models, most fixed attenuators perform reasonably well above 2000 MHz. Please refer to data pages for actual...
